  • 10 years ago
Uruguay President Pepe Mujica is famous for his austere lifestyle, and has been called the poorest head of state in the world. An Arab sheikh has offered to pay US$1 million for Mujica's 1987 VW beetle. At first Mujica thought it was a joke, but then decided to sell the car and use the money for one of the many social programs he funds with his salary. teleSUR
